I've gotten many questions about random stuff so I'm putting this out

1. How long does it take for you to make an emote?
_{Well, most of the time its about an hour but with an emote that's 100+ frames maybe 2 hours to 3 hours.}

2. What programs do you use?
_{The ONLY program I use is Adobe Fireworks Professional 8. I DO NOT use photoshop at all when I make my emotes}

3. Will you make me an emote?
_{Well, Ill be keeping up the bouncing emote thing for awhile just fill out this form
Fill out form:
.:Form:.
Text on top(text):
Emote Base(emote it self):
Object(optional):
Emote Expression:
But unless I get 20 requests in one, ill temporally shutdown the requests to finish up the ones I already have to do. But other that than no, unless you pay me (I mean subscriptions cause I don't have a paypal account) Requests are closed now, I wanna kick back and relax!}

4. Can I use your emotes as avatars?
_{NO! And thats a firm NO. Unless I make it for you, but if you use any of my emotes as avatars, I won't even warn you I'll just report you. I take art theft very seriously}

5. What tutorials do you have on emotes?
_{I have 2 Making a simple emote: newyorkkid618.deviantart.com/a… is interactive ) and making emotes bounce: newyorkkid618.deviantart.com/a…}

6. Can I use your shading style?
_{Uhhh.... I'd rather you not, because found this style myself and makes my emotes different from all of the faded colored ones}

7. Can I use your emotes in forums?
_{Note me, an tell me what forums your using them in, and you have to give credit to me}

8. I have an idea for an emote, will you make it?
_{Maybe, But only if I like it. Just send me a note Titled "Suggestion" I'm open to all suggestions, I keep all my ideas in a mac program called "stickies" and when I get an idea for a project or an emote but I don't wanna do it at that moment ill write it down in my stickies!}

9. How long have you been making emotes?

11. Why did you become an emoticonist?

12. Can I suggest one of your emotes for a DD?
_{Sure! That would be great, I haven't gotten a DD yet But all you have to do is send a note livius saying what emote you wanna suggest, the link of the emote, and a short description on why you want it to be a DD(what makes it DD material)}

13. Can you mentor me?
_{I'm sorry, but no. It's to frustrating to have a student, because first of all I can't describe stuff well, and if you have photoshop I can't help you at all cause I've never used photoshop or imageready in my life.}

14. How come you make so many emotes?
_{Well, I got a lot of time on my hands since It's summer now, I don't goto camp cause it's too hot out, I love my mac, theres like a heat wave every week, I get bored easily and I have a lot of ideas for emotes.}

16. How did you come up with your emote character?
_{Well, since theres a pope of emotes, a baron of emotes, a king of emotes, baroness of emotes and a queen of emotes. Wheres the jester of emotes in this royal family of emotes?}

17. Can you help me get a emote character like your jester or the Zorrox guy?
_{Sure I have some in my head now... Jack, Peasant, President, vice president. If you don't like those then find something that fits your character! Like me I'm funny I make really funny emotes, so I'm the jester of emotes. Note me if you have any trouble with that.}

18. Where do you get your ideas?
_{Other emotes, TV, real life situations or friends that have suggestions.}

#30 People you don't know are good to be friendly with but not actual buds. Unless you meet each other in real life. And the only way that'll happen if someone stalks you.
